Would You Work for a Company That's In The Same Bldg. As....Fox News?
Today, I had an interview with a company that's in the exact same building as the HQ of Fox News and Fox Business channel. As I walked in, there are huge posters on the wall of Beck, Hannity, Greta, Fox and Friends. And in the elevator bank that I went to, there's a huge poster of Bill O'Reilly with his finger pointing at me.

It was truly, truly disgusting.

1. A lot of good people worked in buildings with big posters of George Bush and Dick Cheney
for 8 years.

5. Depends on how good a job it is or how much it's needed.
:shrug: I imagine I could ignore a lot of things if it was necessary.

12. Do you have a choice to turn down a decent job even if it's next door to evil?
No you probably don't. However, it might be a good learning experience, getting to know the people who have to work for them and getting some insider tid bits on the organization and its shakers and movers. How about thinking of it as your spy mission of probing the dark side of the force because fate has placed you there.

17. Absolutely
I see a huge potential for some good entertainment.

At the very least you need to make a cartoon speech bubble that says "Pull my finger!!!" for the O'Reilly poster.

19. Yes. As long as my prospective employer didn't have Fox News on 24/7.
It's no worse than walking past a smelly dumpster. Pretty similar, IMO.

...I worked for Hunt Oil for a spell. You walk in to that fucking building in Dallas, and there is a huge picture of Ray Hunt with his arm around Dick Cheney.
